Wyo. Stat. Ann. §§ 35-18-106 to 35-18-107 § 35-18-107
    35-18-107.   Lessee's rights.

Action by a lessee to enforce his rights under this act shall
not be grounds for termination of the rental agreement.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Under Wyo. Stat. § 35-18-107, a tenant's decision to exercise or enforce rights granted by the applicable act cannot, by itself, serve as a legal basis for a landlord to terminate the rental agreement. This is commonly referred to as an anti-retaliation protection, shielding tenants from losing their housing simply because they assert statutory rights. The provision establishes a direct link between the protected action and the prohibition on termination.

For Property Managers

Property owners and managers operating under Wyoming law should be aware that Wyo. Stat. § 35-18-107 prohibits using a tenant's enforcement of rights under the act as a reason to end a tenancy. Compliant operators generally ensure that any decision to terminate a rental agreement is grounded in legitimate, documented reasons unrelated to a tenant's exercise of statutory rights. Maintaining clear records of the basis for any termination decision is a practice commonly associated with compliance under this provision.

For Tenants

Wyo. Stat. § 35-18-107 provides that taking action to enforce your rights under the act is not a valid ground for your landlord to terminate your rental agreement. If you believe a termination notice was issued in response to your exercise of statutory rights, this provision may be relevant as a defense in any resulting legal proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations in Wyoming can offer general information about how this anti-retaliation protection has been applied, and consulting one may help you understand the general enforcement paths available.
